get id of next row element in table

Recommended Posts

Greetings to All,

I have a table with multiple rows.  These row are added and removed dynamically based on this or that.

In row 'A' I have a select box with its onchange event set to a javascript function.  I need to discover, from within this function, if the next row has an id with a particular format (id string starts with 'shipping').  How can I get this id? 

- There is always a next row.  It always has an ID.

- Additional TD elements may, or may not, follow the TD containing the select box element.

- This is a 'single level' table construct (no tables within tables).

Thank you.

A table of infinite length? That must be memory-intensive.

When you say the next row has an id=shippingXXX are you saying the <tr> element has that id or the row contains a <td> with that id (or even an element contained in a <td> has that id)?

Sample HTML would assist, as would any code you have tried.

lol  The shampoo routine... wash rinse repeat. No, just a few rows.

Thanks.  I can't use jQuery but I see what your doing.  I'll do a w3schools thing and look at the dom things.

And you nailed the html.  That's exactly what I'm doing.

Thanks again.
